Description
"As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together to take us on "a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise.""--

Description
Am Rand unserer alltäglichen Wahrnehmung, kaum sichtbar für das Auge, liegt eine andere Welt: ein Regenwald en miniature, ein Mikrobiom, bestehend aus Moosen, den primitivsten aller Pflanzen. Sie haben weder Blüten, Früchte noch Samen und bringen es dennoch auf 22 000 Arten. Sie haben keine Wurzeln, und doch sind sie seit ihrer Entstehung vor 400 Millionen Jahren tief verbunden mit dem Leben unzähliger anderer Organismen. Anschaulich und kunstvoll...
